Music Shell- The Music Shell was designed by acclaimed architects Peddle Thorp and Walker in the Art Moderne style.

It is a two level building at the rear which provided a band practice room with storage for chairs. At the front, the stage area is enhanced by a dramatic roof structure that is enhanced by relief sculptures and other refined detailing, including urns and decorative grilles on either side of the stage.
